OK
I do have to chime in here and defend myself now.
There were only three or four questions per round.
One of them was always EASY EASY EASY.
There was also one answer to any question that was OBVIOUSLY wrong. (like my spelling)
There was always one question which required a visit to a prize supporters web site.
There was a week or more for each round.
The prizes were real nice thanks to some generous souls.
NONE of the winners were any of the fimiliar active members of this list.
There were some regular participants who eneterd a few times until they got it correct.
Many complaints in last years were its too silly and simple to ask " who wrote Newtscape" or " what color is a newton" every year
Keep the Green?
